PREFACE. 


To  the  citizens  of  the  United  States  the  following  History  of 
Immigration  is  respectfully  submitted,  in  the  belief  that  it  will 
prove  to  them  an  acceptable  offering,  since,  by  the  aid  of  the  facts 
contained  therein,  they  may  accurately  determine  the  elements 
which  have  contributed  to  the  unexampled  growth  of  the  American 
Republic. 

As  to  the  question  of  the  good  or  bad  eft'ect  resulting  to  this 
country  from  immigration,  the  author  earnestly  disclaims  the  desire 
to  promulgate  any  opinion  which  he  may  entertain  ;  he  has,  in  the 
compilation  of  this  history,  embodied  facts  only :  and,  he  leaves  it 
to  the  enlightened  understanding  of  the  people  of  the  United  States 
to  arrive  at  just  conclusions  from  the  premises  therein  presented. 

The  Statements  contained  in  it  have  been  compiled,  entirely, 
from  official  documents : — 

First,  and  chiefly,  from  the  Annual  Reports  on  Immigration  pre 
pared  at  the  Department  of  State,  and  by  the  Secretary  communi 
cated  to  Congress  in  compliance  with  a  requirement  of  the  Passen 
ger  Act  of  March  2,  1819. 

Secondly,  from  Passenger  Abstracts  transmitted  to  the  Secretary 
of  State  by  Collectors  of  the  Customs,  and  on  file  in  the  Depart* 
mcnt,  yet  not  embraced  in  the  Annual  Reports  on  Immigration,  be 
cause  not  received  until  those  Reports  had  been  completed  and 
laid  before  Congress. 

Thirdly,  from  such  custom-house  records  as  furnished  immigration 
statistics  never  communicated  to  the  Secretary,  or  which,  if  ever 
communicated,  are  now  missing  from  the  files  of  the  Department. 

The  facts  thus  accumulated,  and  exhibited  in  the  tables  which 
follow,  contain  all  the  available  official  information  of  importance 
in  possession  of  the  country  relative  to  its  immigration. 


12  PREFACE. 

Fifteen  months  have  elapsed  since  the  compilation  of  this  work 
was  begun,  and  almost  every  hour  not  employed  in  the  discharge 
of  official  duties  has  been  devoted  to  the  task.  Even  a  cursory  ex 
amination  of  the  published  Reports  on  Immigration,  to  be  found  in 
the  Executive  Documents  of  Congress,  will  show  the  extent  and  intri 
cacy  of  the  author's  labors.  The  first  Report,  embracing  returns  for 
the  year  ending  September  30,  1820,  consists  of  literal  copies  of 
passenger  manifests  containing  over  ten  thousand  names,  to  each 
of  which  are  affixed  the  corresponding  age,  sex,  occupation,  and 
country  of  birth ;  thus  presenting  in  detail,  and  without  classifica 
tion,  more  than  fifty  thousand  items,  forming  a  book  of  about  three 
hundred  pages.  In  the  present  work,  recapitulations  of  that 
Report  are  given,  occupying  only  four  pages. 

The  subsequent  Reports,  although  more  condensed  than  the  one 
mentioned,  are  quite  voluminous.  Many  of  them  are  without 
method,  have  no  recapitulations  appended  to  them,  and,  as  pub 
lished,  contain  numerous  typographical  as  well  as  clerical  errors. 
Even  the  Reports  for  the  last  three  years,  which  have  been  pre 
pared  with  great  care,  and  which  are  much  more  perfect  than 
those  preceding,  have  been  recapitulated  anew  in  order  to  embrace 
additional  information,  and  to  secure  a  systematic  classification. 

In  conclusion,  the  author  remarks,  that,  from  the  commencement 
of  this  work  to  the  completion  of  it,  he  has  been  mindful  of  the 
fact,  that,  to  the  general  reader  it  can  not  prove  attractive ;  and 
the  only  encouragement  he  has  received  to  prosecute  the  task  and 
to  finish  it,  has  been  derived  from  the  consideration  that  a  history 
of  Immigration,  exhibiting  the  number  and  sex,  age,  occupation, 
and  country  of  birth,  of  passengers  arriving  in  the  United  States, 
so  far  as  the  same  is  officially  known,  would,  if  presented  to  the 
public  in  the  present  form,  never  become  obsolete,  nor  be  supplanted 
by  another  work  of  a  similar  kind,  but  would  exist  as  a  book  of  ref 
erence  so  long  as  the  American  People  shall  feel  an  interest  in  a 
subject  which  so  vitally  concerns  them.

INTRODUCTORY   REMARKS. 


PROGRESS  AND  EXTENT  OF  IMMIGRATION  PRIOR  TO  1819. 

WE  will  first  consider  very  briefly  the  progress  and  extent  of 
immigration  to  the  United  States  of  America  prior  to  1819,  the 
year  in  which  the  present  official  history  begins.  As,  on  this  point, 
no  authentic  information  exists,  it  must  be  determined  by  such 
evidence  as  statisticians  of  that  period  possessed,  and  by  the  rela 
tions  then  existing-  between  the  United  States  and  the  countries 
from  which  persons  emigrated. 

The  current  of  migration  commenced  its  flow  from  England, 
Ireland,  and  Scotland,  and  from  Germany  through  the  French  and 
British  ports.  It  was  subject  to  many  fluctuations  during  a  part 
of  this  time,  but  continued  with  considerable  uniformity,  it  is 
believed,  until  1806. 

Mr.  Samuel  Blodget,  a  statistician  of  more  than  ordinary  re 
search  and  accuracy,  wrote  in  1806,  while  every  fact  in  regard  to 
immigration  was  fresh  in  the  minds  of  the  people,  that  from  "  the 
best  records  and  estimates  at  present  attainable,'1  the  immigrants 
arriving  in  this  country  did  not  average,  for  the  ten  years  from 
1784  to  1794,  more  than  4,000  per  annum.* 

During  1794,  10,000  persons  were  estimated  to  have  arrived  in 
the  United  States  from  foreign  countries.!

14  INTRODUCTORY    REMARKS. 

tatives  from  Pennsylvania,  in  his  exceedingly  valuable  "  Statistical 
Annals"  of  the  United  States,  wrote  to  the  following  effect:  — 

"  Though  we  admit  that  ten  thousand  foreigners  may  have  ar 
rived  in  the  United  States  in  1794,  we  can  not  allow  that  they  did 
so,  in  an  equal  number,  in  any  preceding  or  subsequent  year,  until 
1817  ;"  and  he  assumes  that  6,000  persons  arrived  in  the  United 
States  from  foreign  countries  in  each  year  from  1790  to  1810  :*  to 
him,  and  to  the  authorities  he  consulted,  this  average  seemed  a 
generous  one. 

During  the  ten  years  from  1806  to  1816,  extensive  immigration 
to  the  United  States  was  precluded  by  the  unfriendly  relations  at 
that  time  existing  between  Great  Britain,  France,  and  the  United 
States. 

England  maintained  the  doctrine,  and  for  a  while  enforced  it 
with  success,  that  "  a  man,  once  a  subject,  was  always  a  subject." 
This  deterred  many  from  emigrating  to  this  country  from  the  Brit 
ish  empire.  Numbers  had  previously  come  for  the  purpose  of 
entering  the  American  merchant-service,  and  numbers  still  might 
have  come  which  the  fear  of  British  impressment  frightened  from 
carrying  out  their  design. 

Another  influence  retarded  immigration :  in  1806,  Great  Britain 
issued  a  decree  declaring  the  coasts  of  France  in  a  state  of  blockade. 
A  retaliatory  decree  was,  in  November  of  the  same  year,  issued  by 
France,  declaring  the  British  isles  in  a  state  of  blockade. 

To  these  restrictions  on  commerce  —  and,  consequently,  on  the 
unobstructed  passage  from  Europe — succeeded  the  British  orders 
in  council,  and  the  Milan  decree  of  Napoleon. 

In  March,  1809,  the  United  States  law  was  passed  prohibiting 
for  one  year  intercourse  with  Great  Britain  and  France. 

Jn  1810,  the  Napoleonic  decrees  were  annulled ;  and  the  com 
merce  of  the  United  States  had,  in  1811,  fairly  commenced  with 
France,  but  only  to  have  their  vessels  fall  into  the  hands  of  the 
British. 

Preparations  were  now  making  for  active  hostilities,  and  on  the 

*  Seybert's  Annals,  pp.  28  and  29. 


INTRODUCTORY   REMARKS.  15 

18th  of  June,  1812,  war  was  formally  declared  by  the  United 
States  to  exist  with  Great  Britain. 

The  German  emigration  sensibly  felt  this  unfavorable  condition 
of  affairs,  inasmuch  as  the  Germans  embarked  principally  at  the 
ports  of  Liverpool  and  Havre ;  facilities  for  migrating  thence  to 
this  country  being  more  numerous,  and  the  expense  of  the  voyage 
less  onerous.  Thus,  from  1806,  was  the  stream  of  emigration  pent 
up  at  its  fountain. 

In  February,  1815,  peace  was  concluded  between  the  United 
States  and  Great  Britain ;  and,  after  several  months  requisite  to 
restore  tranquillity  and  to  secure  the  confidence  of  those  desiring 
to  leave  the  Old  World,  the  tide  resumed  its  ilow,*  and  with  a 
speed  greatly  accelerated  :  as,  from  authentic  information,  collected 
principally  at  the  several  customhouses,  it  appears  that,  during  the 
year  1817,  not  less  than  22,240  persons  arrived  at  ports  of  the 
United  States  from  foreign  countries.  This  number  included  Amer 
ican  citizens  returning  from  abroad. f 

In  no  year  previous  to  that  had  one  half  so  many  foreign  passen 
gers  reached  our  shores.  Many  sufferings  were  incident  to  a  voyage 
across  the  Atlantic  in  a  crowded  emigrant-vessel ;  and  there  were 
no  laws  of  the  United  States  either  limiting  the  number  of  persons 
which  a  passenger  ship  or  vessel  should  be  entitled  to  carry,  or 
providing  any  measures  for  the  health  or  accommodation  of  the 
passengers.  The  subject  seemed  to  deserve  the  immediate  atten 
tion  of  Congress.  In  1818  (March  10),  Louis  M'Lane,  of  Dela 
ware,  reported  to  the  House  of  Representatives  a  bill  "  regulating 
passenger  ships  and  vessels/'  which  was  read  twice  and  referred. J 

In  December  of  the  following  session  it  was  called  up  by  Thomas 
Newton,  of  Virginia,  who  explained  the  necessity  of  its  passage. 
It  was  read  a  third  time  and  passed  by  the  House. 

*  Even  in  1816  emigration  was  to  *omc  extent  impeded.  An  act  of  the  British 
Parliament  allowed  vessels  to  carry  from  Great  Britain  and  Ireland  to  the  United 
States  only  one  passenger  for  every  five  tons,  while  it  allowed  vessels  to  cany  to  other 
foreign  countries  one  passenger  for  every  two  tons.

INTRODUCTORY    REMARKS. 


After  receiving  amendments  from  botli  the  Senate  and  House,  it 
was  finally  passed,  and  approved  March  2,  1819.* 

In  compliance  with  a  requirement  of  this  act,  collectors  of  tho 
customs  have  reported  quarter-yearly  to  the  Secretary  of  State  the 
number  of  passengers  arriving  in  their  collection-districts  by  sea 
from  foreign  countries ;  also  the  sex,  age,  and  occupation,  of  such 
passengers,  and  the  country  in  which  they  were  born.  Annual 
reports,  embracing  that  information,  have,  in  conformity  with  the 
same  act,  been  communicated  to  Congress  by  the  Secretary  of 
State ;  and,  as  before  indicated,  from  these  reports,  chiefly,  this 
history  has  been  compiled. 

The  following  statement!  exhibits  the 

AND    EXTENT    OF    IMMIGRATION     TO    THE    UNITED    STATES,    FROM    SEP

157,537  others  were  born  in  countries  not  designated  in 
the  returns  made  by  collectors  of  the  customs. 

The  country  having  the  largest  emigration  is,  doubtless,  Ireland  ; 
for,  in  addition  to  the  747,930  persons  arriving  from  the  United 
Kingdom,  known  to  have  been  born  in  Ireland,  it  is  safe  to  assume 
that,  of  the  1,348,682  others  born,  as  indefinitely  stated,  in  "  Great 
Britain  and  Ireland,"  arriving  in  the  United  States,  1,000,000  were 
born  in  Ireland  alone,  thus  making  1,747,930  as  the  total  Irish 
emigration. 

Next  in  numerical  order  comes  Germany ;  England,  third ;  and 
France,  fourth. 

The  emigration  of  Chinese  to  this  country  was  very  inconsidera 
ble  until  1854,  previous  to  which  year  the  aggregate  number  known 
to  have  arrived  was  only  88.  In  that  year,  however,  13,100  came 
to  the  United  States ;  and,  in  1855,  3,526  ;  all  of  whom,  with  the 
exception  of  a  single  passenger,  landed  at  the  port  of  San  Francisco : 
15,950  were  males,  and  were  designated  in  the  returns  of  the  col 
lector  as  "  Laborers." 

As  regards  passengers  from  British  America,  the  fact  may  be 
deemed  worthy  of  mention,  that  many  of  them,  especially  of  those 
arriving  during  the  last  four  years,  are  known  to  have  come  with 
the  intention  of  returning,  and  not  of  residing  in  the  United  States. 
The  number  of  such  can  not,  however,  be  determined. 

Finally,  to  the  4,212,624  passengers  of  foreign  birth  arriving  in 
the  United  States  since  September  30, 1819,  may  be  added  250,000 


INTRODUCTORY   REMARKS.  19 

as  the  number  of  immigrants  who  arrived  prior  to  that  date  ;  making 
the  total  of  foreign  arrivals  from  the  close  of  the  Revolutionary  War 
to  December  31, 1855,  4,462,624. 


LEGAL  RIGHTS  OF  NATURALIZED  CITIZENS. 

ALIENS,  naturalized  agreeably  to  the  acts  of  Congress,*  are  not 
prohibited  by  the  constitution  of  the  United  States  the  enjoyment 
of  the  same  rights,  and  to  the  same  extent,  as  natural-born  citizens 
—with  the  single  proviso  that  no  person  shall  be  eligible  to  the 
office  of  President  or  Vice-President  except  a  citizen  native  born, 
or  a  citizen  of  the  United  States  at  the  time  of  the  adoption  of  the 
federal  constitution : 

Congress  can  make  no  law  to  prohibit  the  free  exercise  of  their 
religion  ;  nor  to  abridge  their  freedom  of  speech : 

The  right  of  security  in  their  persons,  houses,  papers,  and  effects, 
against  unreasonable  searches  and  seizures,  is  not  denied  to  them ; 
nor  are  they  prohibited  the  purchase  and  occupation  of  lands  owned 
by  the  government. 

The  constitutions  of  the  several  states  concede  to  naturalized 
citizens,  who  may  take  up  their  residence  within  the  states,  in  gen

NATURALIZATION  AND  PASSENGER  LAWS 

OF   THE   UNITED   STATES,   AND    EXTRACTS    FROM   THE   LAWS   OF   THE 
SEVERAL  STATES  RELATIVE  TO    IMMIGRANTS,  THE   IMPORTA 
TION   OF   PAUPERS,   CONVICTS,   LUNATICS,   ETC. 


S 


LAWS   OF   THE   UNITED    STATES 


RELATIVE    TO 


NATURALIZATION 


REMARKS. 

AN  Act  of  Congress  to  establish  a  uniform  rule  of  naturalization,  and  to 
repeal  all  former  laws  passed  on  that  subject,  was  approved  April  14, 1802. 

This  Act  contained  certain  provisions  in  favor  of  aliens  residing  in  the 
United  States  at  any  time  previous  to  the  29th  of  January,  1795  [see  page 
191],  and  certain  other  provisions  in  favor  of  those  who  resided  in  the  Uni 
ted  States  at  any  time  between  the  29th  of  January,  1795,  and  the  18th  of 
June,  1799  [see  page  192]. 

By  this  Act,  any  alien  arriving  in  the  United  States  after  the  latter  pe 
riod  was  required,  besides  other  conditions,  to  comply  with  the  following 
before  he  could  be  admitted  to  the  rights  of  citizenship : — 

1.  He  shall  declare  on  oath  or  affirmation,  in  some  competent  court,  at 
least  three  years  before  his  admission,  that  it  was,  lonajide,  his  intention 
to  renounce  for  ever  all  allegiance  to  any  sovereign  or  state  of  which  he 
was  a  subject.     [See  page  190.] 

2.  He  shall  swear  or  affirm  that  he  will  support  the  Constitution  of  the 
United  States.     [See  page  190.] 

3.  He  shall  satisfy  the  court  that  he  has  resided  within  the  United  States 
at  least  five  years,  and  within  the  State  or  Territory  where  such  court  is 
held  at  least  one  year,  before  he  can  be  admitted.     It  must  further  appear 
to  the  satisfaction  of  the  court  that  he  has  behaved  as  a  man  of  good  moral 
character,  attached  to  the  principles  of  the  Constitution,  and  well  disposed 
to  the  good  order  and  happiness  of  the  United  States.     [See  page  190.] 

4.  He  shall  renounce  every  title  of  nobility  held  by  him.    [See  page  190.] 
Subsequent  laws  modified  this  act  in  the  following  important  particulars : — 

A  residence  in  the  United  States  for  the  continued  term  of  five  years, 
without  being  at  any  time  without  the  territory  of  the  same,  was  required 
of  aliens  by  an  act  approved  March  3,  1813.  [See  page  195.]  This  pro 
vision,  however,  was  repealed  by  the  act  of  June  20, 1848.  [See  page  198.] 


190  LAWS    OF   THE   UNITED    STATES 

An  Act  approved  May  26,  1824,  provided  that,  instead  of  three  years, 
as  required  by  the  Act  of  April  14, 1802,  a  declaration  made  two  years  be 
fore  admission,  shall  be  deemed  sufficient.  [See  page  197.] 

Such  of  the  laws  of  the  United  States,  relative  to  naturalization,  as  con 
tain  provisions  at  present  in  force,  are  herewith  published.

city  or  town  that  shall  be  put  to  any  expenses  for  the  support,  sickness,  or 
burial,  of  any  such  passenger  within  ten  years  of  the  time  he  has  so  landed,

204  LAWS  OP  THE  SEVERAL  STATES 

SOUTH    CAROLINA. 

AN  ACT  for  preventing  the  transportation  of  convicted  malefactors  from  foreign  coun 
tries  into  this  State.     [Passed  November  4,  1788.] 

SEC.  1.  Be  it  enacted,  fyc.,  That  every  master  or  person  having  charge 
of  any  ship  or  other  vessel,  who  shall  hereafter  bring  into  this  State  any

"  I,  A.  B.,  do  swear  (or  affirm)  in  the  presence  of  Almighty  God,  that 
the  passenger  or  passengers  whom  I  have  brought  in  my  ship  or  vessel

VERMONT.

chargeable  with  his  support,  he  shall  incur  the  forfeiture  and  liabilities  im 
posed  by  the  preceding  section — (viz.:  a  sum  not  exceeding  five  hundred 
hundred  dollars).  [Sec.  26,  Revised  Statutes,  chap.  1C.] 


THE  following  States  also,  namely,  NEW  YORK,  NEW  HAMPSHIRE, 
MAINE,  MARYLAND,  LOUISIANA,  and  TEXAS,  have,  each,  laws  relative  to 
the  introduction  of  immigrants,  requiring  of  the  owner,  .or  master,  or  con 
signee  of  the  ship  or  vessel  landing  foreign  passengers,  a  well-secured  bond 
to  the  people  of  the  State,  conditioned  to  indemnify  and  save  harmless  for 
a  specified  term  of  years  every  city,  town,  and  county  of  the  State  from  any 
cost  which  it  may  incur  for  the  relief  and  support  of  such  passengers.  In 
lieu  of  such  bond,  commutation  money  may,  in  certain  cases,  be  substituted. 
The  publication  of  these  laws  is,  however,  omitted,  since  they  provide  no 
penalties  with  regard  to  the  importation  of  paupers,  convicts,  lunatics,  &c., 
similar  to  those  contained  in  the  laws  from  which  extracts  have  been  given, 
and  are,  moreover,  too  voluminous  for  the  limits  of  this  work. 


LAWS   OF   THE   UNITED    STATES 


RELATIVE    TO   THE 


CARRIAGE  OF  PASSENGERS  IN  PASSENGER-SHIPS  AND  VESSELS, 


THE  first  Act  of  Congress  "  regulating  passenger-ships  and  vessels,"  was 
approved  March  2,  1819. 

By  this  Act,  a  passenger-ship  or  vessel  was  allowed  to  carry  two  pas 
sengers,  and  not  more  than  two,  to  every  five  tons  of  her  measurement 
according  to  the  customhouse  rule. 

A  second  Act,  approved  February  22,  1847,  allowed  to  each  passenger 
"fourteen  clear  superficial  feet  of  deck"  on  the  lower  deck  or  platform,  if 
such  vessel  were  not  to  pass  within  the  tropics  during  the  voyage :  but  if 
such  vessel  were  to  pass  within  the  tropics  during  the  voyage,  then  "  twenty 
such  clear  superficial  feet  of  deck"  were  allotted  to  each  passenger  :  and,  to 
each  passenger  on  the  orlop  deck  (if  any)  "  thirty  such  superficial  feet  in 
all  cases."  Such  space,  occupied  by  passengers  and  appropriated  for  their 
use,  was  to  be  unoccupied  by  stores  or  other  goods,  not  being  the  personal 
luggage  of  such  passengers. 

Such  ship  or  vessel  to  have  not  more  than  two  tiers  of  berths  :  the  berths 
to  be  well  constructed,  and  to  be  at  least  six  feet  in  length  and  eighteen 
inches  in  width  for  each  passenger. 

Children  under  the  age  of  one  year  not  to  be  included  in  the  computation 
of  the  number  of  passengers. 

Two  children,  each  under  the  age  of  eight  years,  to  be  estimated  as  equal 
to  one  passenger. 

A  third  Act  was  approved  March  2,  1847.  So  much  of  the  second  Act 
as  authorizes  shippers,  in  the  assignment  of  room,  to  estimate  two  children 
of  eight  years  of  age  and  under  as  equal  to  one  passenger  was,  by  this  Act, 
repealed. 

A  fourth  Act,  regulating  the  transportation  of  colored  emigrants  from  the 
United  States  to  the  coast  of  Africa,  was  approved  January  31,  1848.  It 
contained,  however,  no  provision  relating  to  the  bringing  of  immigrants  to 
this  country. 


LAWS  RELATIVE  TO  THE  CARRIAGE  OF  PASSENGERS.    207 

A  fifth  Act,  "  to  provide  for  the  ventilation  of  passenger-vessels,  and  for 
other  purposes,"  was  approved  May  17,  1848. 

In  the  framing  of  the  previous  acts,  the  comfort  and  health  of  the  pas 
sengers  do  not  seem  to  have  been  specially  consulted.  In  this  Act,  how 
ever,  there  were  several  humane  provisions. 

It  provided  for  a  more  complete  ventilation  of  the  vessel. 

It  prescribed  the  quantity  of  supplies  of  provisions,  water,  and  fuel. 

It  established  cooking-ranges  for  the  use  of  the  passengers. 

It  made  it  the  duty  of  the  captain  to  cause  the  apartment  occupied  by 
the  passengers  to  be  kept,  at  all  times,  in  a  clean  and  healthy  state. 

It  amended  the  Act  of  February  22,  1847,  so  that,  instead  of  fourteen 
feet,  as  prescribed  in  said  Act,  sixteen  clear  superficial  feet  should  be  al 
lowed  to  each  passenger,  if  the  distance  between  decks  were  less  than  six 
feet  and  not  less  than  five  feet :  and  if  less  than  five  feet,  then  twenty -two 
clear  superficial  feet  were  allotted  to  each  passenger :  and  it  repealed  so 
much  of  former  laws  as  limited  the  number  of  passengers  to  two  for  every 
five  tons. 

A  sixth  Act  was  approved  March  3,  1849. 

It  required  the  owners  and  masters  of  passenger-vessels  to  furnish  to 
each  passenger  the  daily  supply  of  water  mentioned  in  the  fourth  Section 
of  the  Act  of  May  17,  1848;  but  repealed  the  allowance  of  food  and  fuel 
prescribed  therein,  and  only  required  of  such  owners  and  masters  to  "  fur 
nish,  or  cause  the  passengers  to  furnish  for  themselves,  a  sufficient  supply 
of  good  and  wholesome  food." 

It  amended  the  Act  of  February  22,  1847,  so  that  a  vessel  passing  into 
or  through  the  tropics  should  be  allowed  to  carry  the  same  number  of  pas 
sengers  as  vessels  that  did  not  enter  the  tropics. 

This  Act,  so  far  as  it  permitted  passengers  to  "  furnish  for  themselves  a 
sufficient  supply  of  good  and  wholesome  food,"  was  ill-advised,  inasmuch  as 
it  is  well  known  that  immigrants,  in  order  to  avoid  expense,  have,  not  un- 
frequently,  subsisted  on  the  scantiest  fare  during  the  voyage,  while  the 
owners  and  masters  of  such  vessels  remained  in  ignorance  of  the  fact. 

Health  and  strength  are  desirable  elements  in  the  character  of  immigra 
tion,  and  immigrants,  on  reaching  our  shores,  should  not  be  wasted  by  sick 
ness  nor  weakened  by  hunger. 

This  truth  seems  to  have  been  considered  in  the  framing  of  the  seventh, 
and  last  "Act  to  regulate  the  carriage  of  passengers  in  steamships  and 
other  vessels,"  approved  March  3,  1855.  By  this  Act  all  former  laws  reg 
ulating  the  carriage  of  passengers  in  passenger-ships  and  vessels  are  ex 
pressly  repealed,  and  new  regulations  in  regard  to  the  same  are  instituted. 

These  Acts  are  herewith  published  in  full,  and  in  the  order  of  their  ap 
proval.  Annexed  to  them  will  be  found  "  General  Regulations,  No.  45," 
issued  to  Collectors  and  other  officers  of  the  customs,  by  the  Treasury  De 
partment,  under  the  Passenger- Act  now  in  force.

or  the  territories  thereof,  from  any  foreign  port  or  place ;  or  shall  carry,

any  foreign  port  or  place,  a  greater  number  of  passengers  than  two  for 
every  five  tons  of  such  ship  or  vessel,  according  to  customhouse  measure 
ment,  every  such  master,  or  other  person  so  offending,  and  the  owner  or 
owners  of  such  ship  or  vessel,  shall  severally  forfeit  and  pay  to  the  United 
States  the  sum  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars,  for  each  and  every  passen

number  of  two  to  every  five  tons  of  such  ship  or  vessel ;  to  be  recovered

Provided,  nevertheless,  That  nothing  in  this  act  shall  be  taken  to  apply  to

216  LAWS   OF   THE   UNITED   STATES 

AN  ACT  to  regulate  the  carriage  of  passengers  in  steamships  and  other  vessels. 

Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  of  the  United 
States  of  America  in  Congress  assembled,  That  no  master  of  any  vessel 
owned  in  whole  or  in  part  by  a  citizen  of  the  United  States,  or  by  a  citizen  of 
any  foreign  country,  shall  take  on  board  such  vessel,  at  any  foreign  port  or 
place,  other  than  foreign  contiguous  territory  of  the  United  States,  a  greater 
number  of  passengers  than  in  proportion  of  one  to  every  two  tons  of  such 
vessel,  not  including  children  under  the  age  of  one  year  in  the  computation, 
and  computing  two  children  over  one  and  under  eight  years  of  age  as  one 
passenger.  That  the  spaces  appropriated  for  the  use  of  such  passengers, 
and  which  shall  not  be  occupied  by  stores  or  other  goods  not  being  the  per 
sonal  baggage  of  such  passengers,  shall  be  in  the  following  proportions,  viz. : 
On  the  main  and  poop  decks  or  platforms  and  in  the  deck  houses,  if  there  be 
any,  one  passenger  for  each  sixteen  clear  superficial  feet  of  deck,  if  the 
height  or  distance  between  the  decks  or  platforms  shall  not  be  less  than  six 
feet;  and  on  the  lower  deck  (not  being  an  orlop  deck),  if  any,  one  passen 
ger  for  eighteen  such  clear  superficial  feet,  if  the  height  or  distance  between 
the  decks  or  platforms  shall  not  be  less  than  six  feet,  but  so  as  that  no  pas 
senger  shall  be  carried  on  any  other  deck  or  platform,  nor  upon  any  deck 
where  the  height  or  distance  between  decks  is  less  than  six  feet,  with  in 
tent  to  bring  such  passenger  to  the  United  States,  and  shall  leave  such 
port  or  place  and  bring  the  same,  or  any  number  thereof,  within  the  juris 
diction  of  the  United  States  ;  or  if  any  such  master  of  any  vessel  shall  take 
on  board  his  vessel,  at  any  port  or  place  within  the  jurisdiction  of  the 
United  States,  any  greater  number  of  passengers  than  in  the  proportion 
aforesaid  to  the  space  aforesaid,  or  to  the  tonnage  aforesaid,  with  intent  to 
carry  the  same  to  any  foreign  port  or  place  other  than  foreign  contiguous 
territory  as  aforesaid,  every  such  master  shall  be  deemed  guilty  of  a  misde 
meanor,  and,  upon  conviction  thereof,  before  any  circuit  or  district  court  of 
the  United  States  shall,  for  each  passenger  taken  on  board  beyond  the  limit 
aforesaid,  or  the  space  aforesaid,  be  fined  in  the  sum  of  fifty  dollars,  and 
may  also  be  imprisoned,  at  the  discretion  of  the  judge  before  whom  the 
penalty  shall  be  recovered,  not  exceeding  six  months ;  but  .should  it  be 
necessary  for  the  safety  or  convenience  of  the  vessel,  that  any  portion  of 
her  cargo  or  any  other  articles,  or  article,  should  be  placed  on,  or  stored  in, 
any  of  the  decks,  cabins,  or  other  places  appropriated  to  the  use  of  passen 
gers,  the  same  may  be  placed  in  lockers  or  enclosures  prepared  for  the  pur 
pose,  on  an  exterior  surface  impervious  to  the  wave,  capable  of  being 
cleansed  in  like  manner  as  the  decks  or  platforms  of  the  vessel.  In  no 
case,  however,  shall  the  places  thus  provided  be  deemed  to  be  a  part  of  the 
space  allowable  for  the  use  of  passengers,  but  the  same  shall  be  deducted 
therefrom,  and  in  all  cases  where  prepared  or  used,  the  upper  surface  of 


RELATIVE   TO   THE   CAERIAGE   OF   PASSENGERS   BY   SEA.          217 

said  lockers  on  enclosed  spaces  shall  be  deemed  and  taken  to  be  the  deck  or 
platform  from  which  measurement  shall  be  made  for  all  the  purposes  of 
this  act.  It  is  also  provided  that  one  hospital  in  the  spaces  appropriated  to 
passengers,  and  separate  therefrom  by  an  appropriate  partition,  and  fur 
nished  as  its  purposes  require,  may  be  prepared,  and,  when  used,  may  be 
included  in  the  space  allowable  for  passengers,  but  the  same  shall  not  oc 
cupy  more  than  one  hundred  superficial  feet  of  deck  or  platform :  Provided, 
That  on  board  two-deck  ships,  where  the  height  between  the  decks  is  seven 
and  one  half  feet  or  more,  fourteen  clear  superficial  feet  of  deck  shall  be 
the  proportion  required  for  each  passenger. 

SEC.  2.  And  be  it  further  enacted.  That  no  such  vessel  shall  have  more 
than  two  tiers  of  berths,  and  the  interval  between  the  lowest  part  thereof  and 
the  deck  or  platform  beneath,  shall  not  be  less  than  nine  inches,  and  the 
berths  shall  be  well  constructed,  parallel  with  the  sides  of  the  vessel,  and 
separated  from  each  other  by  partitions,  as  berths  ordinarily  are  separated, 
and  shall  be  at  least  six  feet  in  length  and  at  least  two  feet  in  width,  and 
each  berth  shall  be  occupied  by  no  more  than  one  passenger ;  but  double 
berths  of  twice  the  above  width  may  be  constructed,  each  berth  to  be  occu 
pied  by  no  more,  and  by  no  other,  than  two  women,  or  by  one  woman  and 
two  children  under  the  age  of  eight  years,  or  by  husband  and  wife,  or  by  a 
man  and  two  of  his  own  children  under  the  age  of  eight  years,  or  by  two 
men,  members  of  the  same  family ;  and  if  there  shall  be  any  violation  of 
this  section  in  any  of  its  provisions,  then  the  master  of  the  vessel  and  the 
owners  thereof  shall  severally  forfeit  and  pay  the  sum  of  five  dollars  for 
each  passenger  on  board  of  such  vessel  on  such  voyage,  to  be  recovered 
by  the  United  States  in  any  port  where  such  vessel  may  arrive  or  depart. 

SEC.  3.  And  be  it  further  enacted,  That  all  vessels,  whether  of  the  Uni 
ted  States  or  any  foreign  country,  having  sufficient  capacity  or  space  ac 
cording  to  law  for  fifty  or  more  passengers  (other  than  cabin  passengers) 
shall,  when  employed  in  transporting  such  passengers  between  the  United 
States  and  Europe,  have,  on  the  upper  deck,  for  the  use  of  such  passengers, 
a  house  over  the  passage-way  leading  to  the  apartments  allotted  to  such 
passengers  below  deck,  firmly  secured  to  the  deck  or  combings  of  the  hatch, 
with  two  doors,  the  sills  of  which  shall  be  at  least  one  foot  above  the  deck, 
so  constructed  that  one  door  or  window  in  such  house  may  at  all  times  be 
left  open  for  ventilation ;  and  all  vessels  so  employed,  and  having  the  capa 
city  to  carry  one  hundred  and  fifly  such  passengers  or  more,  shall  have  two 
such  houses ;  and  the  stairs  or  ladder  leading  down  to  the  aforesaid  apart 
ment  shall  be  furnished  with  a  hand-rail  of  wood  or  strong  rope  ;  but  booby-

SEC.  4.  And  be  it  further  enacted,  That  every  such  vessel  so  employed, 
and  having  the  legal  capacity  for  more  than  one  hundred  such  passengers, 
shall  have  at  least  two  ventilators  to  purify  the  apartment  or  apartments  oc- 


218  LAWS   OF  THE   UNITED   STATES 

cupied  by  such  passengers ;  one  of  which  shall  be  inserted  in  the  after  part 
of  the  apartment  or  apartments,  and  the  other  shall  be  placed  in  the  for 
ward  portion  of  the  apartment  or  apartments,  and  one  of  them  shall  have 
an  exhausting  cap  to  carry  off  the  foul  air,  and  the  other  a  receiving  cap  to 
carry  down  the  fresh  air;  which  said  ventilators  shall  have  a  capacity  pro 
portioned  to  the  size  of  the  apartment  or  apartments  to  be  purified,  namely  : 
if  the  apartment  or  apartments  will  lawfully  authorize  the  reception  of  two 
hundred  such  passengers,  the  capacity  of  such  ventilators  shall  each  be 
equal  to  a  tube  of  twelve  inches  diameter  in  the  clear,  and  in  proportion 
for  larger  or  smaller  apartments ;  and  all  said  ventilators  shall  rise  at  least 
four  feet  six  inches  above  the  upper  deck  of  any  such  vessel,  and  be  of  the 
most  approved  form  and  construction  ;  but  if  it  shall  appear,  from  the  report, 
to  be  made  and  approved,  as  hereinafter  provided,  that  such  vessel  is 
equally  well  ventilated  by  any  other  means,  such  other  means  of  ventila 
tion  shall  be  deemed  and  held  to  be  a  compliance  with  the  provisions  of 
this  section. 

SEC.  5.  And  be  it  further  enacted,  That  every  vessel  carrying  more 
than  fifty  such  passengers  shall  have  for  their  use  on  deck,  housed  and  con 
veniently  arranged,  at  least  one  camboose  or  cooking-range,  the  dimensions 
of  which  shall  be  equal  to  four  feet  long  and  one  foot  six  inches  wide  for 
every  two  hundred  passengers ;  and  provision  shall  be  made  in  the  manner 
aforesaid,  in  this  ratio,  for  a  greater  or  less  number  of  passengers ;  but 
nothing  herein  contained  shall  take  away  the  right  to  make  such  arrange 
ments  for  cooking  between  decks,  if  that  shall  be  deemed  desirable. 

SEC.  6.  And  be  it  further  enacted,  That  all  vessels  employed  as  aforesaid 
shall  have  on  board,  for  the  use  of  such  passengers,  at  the  time  of  leaving  the

each  passenger  at  least  one  tenth  part  of  the  aforesaid  provisions  weekly, 
commencing  on  the  day  of  sailing,  and  at  least  three  quarts  of  water  daily ; 
and  if  the  passengers  on  board  of  any  such  vessel  in  which  the  provisions 
and  water  herein  required  shall  not  have  been  provided  as  aforesaid,  shall 
at  any  time  be  put  on  short  allowance  during  any  voyage,  the  master  or

every  clay  they  may  have  been  put  on  short  allowance,  to  be  recovered  in 
the  circuit  or  district  court  of  the  United  States :  and  it  shall  be  the  duty 
of  the  captain  or  master  of  every  such  ship  or  vessel,  to  cause  the  food  and

messes,  or  in  such  other  manner  as  shall  be  deemed  best  and  most  conducive 
to  the  health  and  comfort  of  such  passengers,  of  which  hours  and  manner  of 
distribution,  due  and  sufficient  notice  shall  be  given.  If  the  captain  or  master 
of  any  such  ship  or  vessel  shall  wilfully  fail  to  furnish  and  distribute  such 
provisions  cooked  as  aforesaid,  he  shall  be  deemed  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor, 
and,  upon  conviction  thereof  before  any  circuit  or  district  court  of  the  Uni 
ted  States,  shall  be  fined  not  more  than  one  thousand  dollars,  and  shall  be 
imprisoned  for  a  term  not  exceeding  one  year :  Provided,  That  the  enforce

default. 

SKC.  7.  And  be  it  further  enacted,  That  the  captain  of  any  such  vessel 
so  employed  is  hereby  authorized  to  maintain  good  discipline,  and  such 
habits  of  cleanliness  among  such  passengers  as  will  tend  to  the  preservation 
and  promotion  of  health ;  and  to  that  end,  he  shall  cause  such  regulations 
as  he  may  adopt  for  this  purpose,  to  be  posted  up,  before  sailing,  on  board 
such  vessel,  in  a  place  accessible  to  such  passengers,  and  shall  keep  the 
same  so  posted  up  during  the  voyage ;  and  it  is  hereby  made  the  duty  of

be  the  duty  of  the  captain  of  every  such  vessel  to  cause  the  deck  occupied 
by  such  passengers  to  be  cleansed  with  chloride  of  lime,  or  some  other

captain  may  deem  necessary. 

SEC.  8.  And  be  it  further  enacted,  That  the  master  and  owner  or  own 
ers  of  any  such  vessel  so  employed,  which  shall  not  be  provided  with  the

ine  such  vessel,  and  report,  in  writing,  to  such  collector,  whether  the  require 
ments  of  law  have  been  complied  with  in  respect  to  such  vessel ;  and  if 
such  report  shall  state  such  compliance,  and  shall  be  approved  by  such  col 
lector,  it  shall  be  deemed  and  held  as  prima-facie  evidence  thereof. 

SEC.  10.  And  be  it  further  enacted.  That  the  provisions,  requisitions, 
penalties,  and  liens  of  this  act,  relating  to  the  space  in  vessels  appropriated 
to  the  use  of  passengers,  are  hereby  extended  and  made  applicable  to  all

Provided,  That  the  payment  shall  in  no  case  be  awarded  or  made  to  any

Approved,  March  3,  1855. 


General  Regulations  No.  45.  —  Under  the  act  to  regulate  the  carriage  of  passengers  in 
steamships  and  other  vessels,  approved  March  3,  1855. 

To  Collectors  and  other  Officers  of  the  Customs. 

TREASURY  DEPARTMENT,  March  23,  1855. 

THE  attention  of  collectors  and  other  officers  of  the  customs,  as  well  as 
all  persons  interested  and  engaged  in  carrying  passengers  in  steamships  and 
other  vessels,  is  especially  called  to  the  provisions  of  the  annexed  act  of 
Congress,  approved  March  3,  1855,  entitled,  "An  act  to  regulate  the  car 
riage  of  passengers  in  steamships  and  other  vessels,"  and  a  strict  compliance 
with  its  terms  and  provisions  enjoined  upon  the  aforesaid  officers  and  other 
persons  interested. 


224  LAWS   OF  THE   UNITED   STATES 

It  will  be  observed  that,  while  this  act  prescribes  spaces  of  certain  clear 
superficial  feet  of  deck  to  each  passenger  (other  that  cabin  passengers),  it 
moreover  fixes  a  maximum  by  restricting  the  number  of  such  passengers 
allowed  to  be  carried  in  any  such  vessel  in  the  proportion  of  one  to  every 
two  tons  of  said  vessel's  tonnage  measurement,  excluding  children  under  the 
age  of  one  year  from  the  computation,  and  computing  two  children  over  one 
and  under  eight  years  of  age  as  one  passenger.  It  follows,  that  though  a 
vessel  might  afford  clear  spaces  of  the  dimensions  indicated  for  a  greater 
number  of  passengers  than  one  to  every  two  tons  of  her  tonnage  measure 
ment,  yet  if  the  number  shall  exceed  that  allowed  by  her  tonnage  measure 
ment,  the  penalties  imposed  by  the  law  would  attach ;  or  if  her  tonnage 
measurement  should  allow  a  greater  number  of  passengers  than  accord 
ing  to  the  clear  spaces  prescribed  by  law  she  could  carry,  yet  if  the  number 
shall  exceed  that  allowed  by  the  clear  spaces  prescribed  by  law,  the  penal 
ties  imposed  by  the  law  would  equally  attach.  In  other  words,  the  one 
rule,  as  to  the  number  of  passengers  a  vessel  is  entitled  to  carry,  is  a  lim 
itation  upon  the  other.  The  tonnage  of  each  vessel,  according  to  custom 
house  measurement,  must,  therefore,  be  ascertained,  as  well  as  the  measure 
ment  of  the  spaces  allotted  to  passengers,  in  order  to  determine  the  number 
of  passengers  she  is  entitled  to  carry. 

In  order  to  determine  the  number  of  passengers  a  vessel  is  entitled  to 
carry  in  accordance  with  the  spaces  prescribed  by  this  act,  the  height  be 
tween  decks  must  be  measured  from  the  bottom  edge  of  the  carlings  or 
deck  beams  to  the  top  floor  below ;  and  no  space  shall  be  considered  avail 
able  for  passengers  that  has  not,  when  measured  in  this  manner,  the  height 
called  for  by  the  law,  as  the  case  may  be  ;  nor  shall  any  space  in  a  vessel  of 
a  less  width  than  four  feet  be  measured ;  provided,  however,  if  the  vessel 
shall,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  first  section  of  this  act,  carry 
any  portion  of  her  cargo,  or  any  other  article  or  articles,  on  any  of  the 
decks,  cabins,  or  other  places  appropriated  to  the  use  of  passengers,  in  lock 
ers  or  enclosures  prepared  for  the  purpose,  the  height  between  decks  shall 
be  measured  from  the  bottom  edge  of  the  carlings  or  deck  beams  to  the  up 
per  surface  of  said  lockers  or  enclosed  spaces,  which  shall  be  deemed  and 
taken  to  be  the  deck  or  platform  from  which  measurement  shall  be  made 
for  all  the  purposes  of  this  act,  and  the  spaces  occupied  by  said  lockers  or 
enclosed  spaces  shall  be  deducted  from  the  spaces  allowable  for  the  use  of 
passengers. 

For  example :  the  spaces  in  the  main  and  poop  decks  or  platforms,  and 
in  the  deck-houses,  if  any  there  be,  will  be  16  by  6—96  feet;  lower  deck, 
18  by  6  =  108  feet;  two-deck  vessels,  14  by  7lr=105  feet. 

The  encumbering  by  merchandise  or  stores,  not  the  personal  baggage  of 
the  passengers,  except  in  locker  or  enclosures  prepared  for  the  purpose,  of 
any  part  of  the  space  occupied  by  the  passengers,  will  vitiate  the  whole 


RELATIVE  TO  THE  CARRIAGE  OF  PASSENGERS  BY  SEA.    225 

space,  unless  the  part  so  encumbered  be  separated  from  that  so  occupied,  by 
a  substantial  bulkhead. 

The  deck  or  platform  must  be  of  a  permanent  nature,  flush,  and  impervi 
ous  to  water. 

Collectors  will  keep  a  special  account  of  the  moneys  received  under  the 
fourteenth  section  of  this  act  on  account  of  deceased  passengers  ;  and,  before, 
making  payments  to  any  board  or  commission  of  the  description  mentioned 
in  the  law,  will  make  a  report  to  the  Department  of  the  number  and  desig 
nation  of  the  boards  or  commissions  appointed  and  acting  under  the  author 
ity  of  the  State  in  which  their  respective  ports  are  situated,  to  enable  the 
Department  to  determine  which  is  entitled  to  receive  the  same. 

It  will  be  perceived  that  the  nineteenth  section  of  this  act  expressly  re 
peals  all  former  laws  on  the  subject,  except  so  far  as  concerns  the  prosecu 
tion,  recovery,  distribution,  or  remission  of  any  fines,  penalties,  and  for 
feitures  which  may  have  been  incurred  under  former  laws  prior  to  the 
day  this  act  shall  go  into  effect;  which,  with  respect  to  vessels  sailing 
from  ports  in  the  United  States  on  the  eastern  side  of  the  continent,  is 
within  thirty  days  from  the  time  of  its  approval ;  with  respect  to  vessels 
sailing  from  ports  in  the  United  States  on  the  western  side  of  the  continent, 
Ltnd  from  ports  in  Europe,  is  within  sixty  days  from  the  time  of  its  approv 
al  ;  and  in  respect  to  vessels  sailing  from  ports  in  other  parts  of  the  world, 
is  within  six  months  from  the  time  of  its  approval.  The  provisions  of 
existing  laws  will  be  enforced  until  this  act  shall  go  into  effect,  as  above 
specified. 

It  is  deemed  sufficient  only  further  to  call  your  particular  attention  to  the 
first,  second,  sixth,  tenth,  eleventh,  fourteenth,  fifteenth,  sixteenth,  and  sev 
enteenth  sections  of  this  act,  in  which  certain  provisions,  different  from  ex 
isting  laws,  have  been  enacted,  and  to  state  that  all  the  requirements  of  said 
sections  must  be  strictly  enforced. 

Collectors  are  directed  to  furnish  the  masters  of  all  vessels  engaged  in 
transporting  passengers  between  their  respective  ports  and  foreign  coun 
tries,  and  each  owner  or  consignee  of  any  such  vessel  residing  at  their  ports, 
with  one  copy  of  this  circular. 

JAMES  GUTHRIE,
